Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies

It doesn't get much better than a peanut butter and chocolate combination. Cookies, cakes, pies or brownies - I love them all! These blondies are so easy to make and I can almost guarantee that these will be your new favorite dessert (at least for this week)! Creamy peanut butter and melt-in-your-mouth milk chocolate chips make these cake like blondies pretty much perfection . I will say, that my husband and I think they are best served warm. Make it an extra special treat and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

  • Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dry ingredients, and stir until batter is smooth
  • Fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the rest for sprinkling on top
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading the batter evenly to the edges of the pan
  • Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and lightly press them into the batter
